B 61 MACK

Here is another one that I am going to build up its a B 61 Mack a old jaymar cab,still collceting parts for it don't know the colour it wont be yellow or red.


anyone got idea for colour,going to put a tray back on it,thinking of timber or checker plate.

For some reason its saying "Green" to me.
A mid green maybe.

Ya thats one of the colours they can out as,was thinking of light blue chassis and 2 tone cab,black,white,or ???????

was thinking of putting cab on a 99 chevy silverado pickup chassis to turn it into a wild pickup.

Green has a miltary look about it - maybe light green is OK but I always liked dark blue on the rounder shaped trucks. Whatever the colour I'm sure it's going to look great.

This is what i thinking of building.

Cool. What about a dark maroon or a purple?

Ya Kane thinking of that colour after found a restored truck painted prowler purple metalic and white roof,like the holden cosmo purple colour,even the purple from the ford range,still think of which way to build it.

Allan,you could do it a dark metallic green with white roof and whit pin striping and scroll work.

Cheers Tony.

I think though personally I would just build it as an old prime mover, I don't particularly like the red one in the photo.
When I lived in Wodonga, VIC, there was an old B Model restored by a sign company. It was yellow, I think it only moved trailers around at the workshop and did trips around town. It looked really nice.

thinking of going with the new colour commodore purple does anyone know were I can get paint formula,so I can get some made up as one can not buy it in rattle can,the Mack will be built as a cab chassis with tray on the back.

Here is a B61 painted prowler metalic purple.I like it.

That looks sweet. You can buy Prowler Purple in a spray can, it's made by Testors, if that helps you at all.

Thanks Kane did not know that,will get some if I can not get the holden colour which is called morpheus.will be going with white on the roof and inside.got to find a way to BMF the grill on the mack.

Try Autobarn to get your Holden colour made up, they are doing a lot of late model colours now with all the superdooper pearls. They can do it in either a 100ml tin or a big rattle can.

Thanks Tubman will look after easter.

Allan,if you take a look at my B model I used bare metal foil all around the grille erea it took a while but was worth it.

Cheers Tony.

Looked at Tony's B61 Mack forgot that one was there,she looks great hope to make a good job of mine.they are a great old truck.

going with colour change,will be going with dark blue,yellow so I can use the golden fleece decals that I had made up,also looking for a fuel tanker like the one in photo.

new photo of B61 Mack that,will use some of it to build my mack.like the sleeper box

Hey Allan,I wouldn't mind building this one my self it would look spot on sitting beside my red one.

Cheers Tony.

Ya she's not a bad looking rig.

Looking at building it up with a single diff under the back of it,found photo of one its red,white,hope to get started soon.

You better start soon Allan or you'll wear out you mind changer! I'm confused with the amount of changes you have been through already and you haven't even started!!!

That's been old its hard to remeber anything will be going with single diff under her and staying with red white,I put out some ideas to see what infor me get and feed back.
